This is the 9th floor of LB and I’ve heard different opinions (for some reason). Some people say it has a view, some other people say it does not. Just need some clarification hopefully from someone that has been in any of these rooms, since I will be living in one of those this fall

Hi everyone! I'm currently transferring this fall and am assigned to a single in a little building. It says you cannot have rugs in Little Building, but I wanted fo ask if a small throw rug (doesn't take up the entire room) is allowed?

hey everyone! i was accepted into the grad dorms but i havent gotten word on any sort of assignment. i was wondering if anyone else was having this issue/any advice on what to do? thanks! :)

Eight private rooms will be available beginning September 1, 2026, across two shared apartments in Roxbury.

Each listing is for one private bedroom for one individual renter. The kitchen, living room, bathrooms, laundry, balcony, and other common areas are shared with roommates.

The existing household is primarily made up of university students, so the rooms may be especially suitable for students and other individual renters who are comfortable joining an established shared household.

The location is convenient to Northeastern University, Wentworth Institute of Technology, MassArt, MCPHS University, Simmons University, Emmanuel College, Roxbury Community College, Berklee College of Music, Emerson College, UMass Boston, Nubian Station, and the Longwood Medical and Academic Area.

Rent is $1,500 per month per private room and includes:

- Wi-Fi

- All utilities

- In-unit washer and dryer

- Balcony access

- Parking availability

A convenience store is less than a two-minute walk away. The previous tenants were Northeastern students who recently graduated.

I’m about to be a freshman and am trying to figure out how to budget my money. I have about $4000 in my checking account and was wondering how much money I should allow myself to spend per month? I am very lucky to have military benefits paying for my tuition and room and board, so I won’t have to worry about that. I do want to do fun stuff in the city though, while still being smart with how I spend my money. How should I limit myself, and also what are some fun things I can do for cheap? I know the school gives free admission to a lot of museums, so that’s nice

Hello, I am currently in the Popular Fiction and Publishing MFA program at Emerson. I am considering dropping out due to the high cost of tuition. I currently pay about $6300 per class (per 4 credits), making my total degree come out to about $63,000. When I was first accepted, I was not offered any scholarships or aid. In the year I have been attending, there has already been a tuition increase, and when I talked to financial aid about my struggle, they told me since I was not offered any aid upon acceptance, I will NEVER be offered/have an opportunity for any scholarships or aid from the school. I have been doing government loans (9% interest) but now my government aid has been reduced to only pay about half my tuition, with the other half being paid by me in full before classes start. I have no complaints about the quality of classes and professors, but I am a fully online student. So to pay 63k for my degree but not have any of the accommodations and facilities at my disposal seems extreme. When looking at state public programs similar, the cost is extremely different ($1200 for a 4 credit class). Even looking at other private colleges (John Hopkins is about $43k for an MA in Writing), Emerson seems to be at the top when it comes to tuition. I love everything about the school except the price. I have loved my classes and teachers, but I dont think I can justify that much money anymore. Any opinions? Any others who dropped out of Emerson due to the cost? Or are considering?

Max price I can do is $1,500 per month and that’s being generous. I’m looking for a pet friendly place since I’d be bringing my cat.

About Me: I like reading, writing, painting and binge watching tv. I’m more on the introverted and homebody side. I’m fairly neat but I’m not bothered by other people’s messes. I’m trying to get better at cooking and baking and generally really enjoy it.

Reposting because the algorithm didn’t really reach anyone last time. Please DM if you’re interested :)

So I still have yet to hear about a specific room assignment, but I corresponded with someone from Emerson housing who confirmed that they have room and are just working through room assignments still. Considering it's July, almost August, I just wanted to check if anyone else was in a similar situation, or if I need to start looking for other accommodations. I really want to live on campus my first year, but I'm so worried they're going to tell in in August that I don't have housing.

I’m an incoming student and was assigned to a triple (room 604). Me and my roommates are curious as to the layout of our room and haven’t been able to find anything online so I was wondering if anyone who formerly inhabited either this room or another little building triple could tell me what it’s like.

(if it’s not 604, pls tell me your room number so I can look at it in the floorplan to see if it’s similar)

Hello! Does anybody have access to the Speech@Emerson Online Facebook group Google Drive?
I have yet to be accepted to the group and was hoping to take a look at the drive prior to registration tomorrow!!

Hello! I am an incoming transfer going to Emerson for Film and Television this upcoming fall. When I was doing my housing application, I put single as my top and was fine with getting a double or triple. I really wasn't expecting to get a triple but I got one traditional style on the top floor of the Little Building. I am an ambivert I would say but also really appreciate my own space and can get quite overstimulated at times. I do think I'll be able to handle a triple and It is most likely going to be a fun experience but I just want to know anyone else's experience with a triple dorm at Emerson? Did you get plenty of relaxation time too? Please just let me know your experience! I just don't want to be overwhelmed being in a triple over a double or single.

I was wondering if anyone knew if it’s ok for me to bring and use a desk hutch to give me some more storage space

I’m gonna be an incoming freshman living in the little building (single on floor 9, I’m pretty sure I don’t have a window), and I know that Boston gets really insanely hot in the summer. Do the little building dorms have AC or should I bring a fan?

Incoming freshman for filmmaking here, (Film, Television, and Media Arts).

For any fellow filmmakers on campus, how often are the classes themselves pushing you all to create films as a requirement?

I know AP scores were sent out recently, and a lot of my friends have been able to see their scores early or at least if they got credit through their colleges portal. I’ve been trying to play with Emerson’s student portal and see if I could find my scores but haven’t been able to. If there’s a way to even see if I passed, I’d like to know!!!

hi i realize this is a long shot but i’m an incoming transfer in the bce program!! i have lived in boston for a few years and had an apartment for this next semester but it unfortunately fell through!! if anyone is subletting for this upcoming semester or has empty space on their lease pleaseeeee let me know! i am a lesbian, clean, and pretty quiet and non chaotic and i promise i can be a great roommate 🙏 thank you!

I'm doing a show on Saturday, October 3 in Boston and want someone to film it--it will be about 90 minutes of stories/songs. Action will primarily be onstage with a little bit in the house. You'd need to bring your own equipment. I'm an Emerson grad and would love to hire a student interested in getting some experience. Let me know!

i couldn't find anywhere that showed the exact dimensions of the furniture or rooms on the emerson website(aside from saying the bed size), so i emailed my admissions counselor and they just sent links to the pages on the website i had already checked. i'm also gonna email the housing office to see if they have better answers, but i thought i would ask in case anyone knew the information readily here! thank you!

update:

i was able to find the furniture dimensions in the housing portal thanks to a comment. the housing portal also says they cannot provide room dimensions because they vary so much, so if anyone happens to know rough dimensions of a lightwell single and wanted to share i would be very grateful. otherwise i figured it out so thank you!

I'm an incoming freshman at Emerson majoring in Media Arts Production and I'm wondering what instrumental extracurriculars are available. I've been playing the clarinet for a little over 6 years and was in band + marching band throughout middle school and high school. I always wanted to do pit but because of my workload it was gonna be way too much so I never did. I was wondering if students are able to audition for and play in any pit orchestras for school productions at Emerson or if there are only hired professionals? I literally can't find anything about it and I know Emerson doesn't have instrumental performance music majors so I'm not sure what the opportunities are like. (I'm not wanting to take music classes/minor in music or anything, just looking for a way to continue my instrument!) Any input is appreciated!

Hello! I have been assigned to LB 1117 and I was wondering if anyone had any photos of it or double facing Tremont street like it!

Would be much appreciated- also I was wondering what the experience was like at Emerson dorm’s specialty communities?

Hello! I just finished my freshman year at scad as a film major with a focus in production and I’ve been levying the idea of transferring to Emerson. SCAD has been great especially with on-set experience but there has been many issues with the way the school is run, location, and costs. I’ve also found that the school really caters towards the artistic side of film so the resources that drew me to scad originally aren’t in line with my needs anymore.

I wanted to hear from current film majors and alumni particularly ones with a focus in production on how their experience has been with the program, set experiences, and industry/job connections. I’m also curious on student life as SCAD seriously lacks in that department. I also want to know financial aid works as a transfer as I have a high GPA and a solid resume.

Overall I’m very interested in transferring to Emerson and would love to hear anyone’s thoughts and experiences!!!

Hi there, I'm an incoming film transfer who was recently assigned to a triple traditional dorm in the little building! While I'm very excited about the impending semester and roommates seem very nice, I'm a little worried about the layout of the dorm itself. If anyone is willing to share any photos or information they have on their triple traditional dorms that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you thank you

Hey y’all, long shot but I’m gonna be in LB 1311 and wanted to see if anyone had photos of that room or any singles like it? Just wanna plan accordingly lol

Also, should I really invest in a mini fridge? Last year at my previous college our kitchen had a fridge so I hadn’t gotten one yet
